The duration of steaming your natural hair can varied between 20 and 30 minutes. Your hair needs time to absorb the conditioner. Make sure that your ends are under the steamer as they are the oldest part of your hair.

After steaming your hair, let it cool down. So that the cuticles can close and seal the moisture in. Then rinse your conditioner out.
